Excellent vanilla taste. We always go to the Koloa shop when on Kauai.

I really like the Koloa rums. In fact, as of this review I think they make the best dark rum, the best coconut rum, and the best coffee rum I've ever tried. Now I think they make the best spiced rum as well!

A lot of other reviewers said this was too sweet for them. I even saw a review of a different rum that said "This rum contains a large amount of added sugar. Downgraded from 10 to 5." I personally care about a rum's taste, not sugar. I feel that the 44%abv of this rum really complements the sweetness very well. I love it straight! Has a really nice spiced flavor too.

Tastes and smells of sugar and spice... and everything nice (ok, I'm struggling to describe the spice), but it really is quite good. In fact, this is one of the few rums I'm rating well above the consensus rating (I typically rate rums about a point below the consensus).

If you don't mind a little extra sweetness in your rum, you should give this one a try. I think you'll like it, but even if you don't, I sure do! :-) The best of the Koloa's imho.

Still new at this, but one of the better that I've tasted. Warm, smooth, vanilla and incmon.

I do not always like spiced rum, but this is like dessert for me. I really love the scent and the smooth flavor. It makes excellent mixed drinks.

One of the sweeter rums i drank. The taste is smooth and sweet followed by the burn and then lastly the spice burn. Has all the typical flavors and smells you would find in in rum. I find the spice enhances the taste rather then trying to hide it. Good for drinking shots or making drinks.

For $25 dollars i couldn't find anything else better.

However my personal recommendation is if your drinking shots or making drinks, put the bottle in the freezer, it makes it way more tolerable and enjoyable if the drink is cold. When i tried drinking it warm a lot of the flavors and burn was overwhelming.

I don't think it's a good sipper as the flavors can get too intense but it's great for what it's meant to be.

Nose is like a and w cream soda. Taste is a little sweet like vanilla icing with hint of spice. I GEt clove and similar spices. I would give this 6.5. Simple flavor but decent for a mixer.

When in Hawaii you have to try their rum, this is a good way to go.

Complex spices, but not enough body that I'd reach for it to sip. Likely amazing in hot cocktails

The colour is straw like , the nose is heavy with cloves and vanilla , also caramel and other spices i cant place , maybe cinnamon. First taste is very sweet and strong but not over powering. I also think the 44% helps this rum find its place. Quite enjoyable but would put a few spiced rums in front of it eg , Red Leg and Foursquare for starters.. Probably wouldn't buy again.

You can taste the spices but its not over powering. Nice aroma and smooth finish. Better then any other spiced rum I have had except the Kracken and you can't really compare it to the Kracken. It would be like comparing a lite rum to a dark rum. I recommend you try this one.
